Wedding planning... 4 months to go!

Oh my god that sounds scary! There's still a lot to do but I feel like we're finally getting somewhere with a lot of it.

In the last month we've...

Attended a local wedding exhibiton for some inspiration.

Picked up the dress!!
Still in love with it! I won't say much more though as I'm one of those brides who'll keep it a big secret until the big day. However I don't think anyone (who really knows me) will get much of a surprise - I asked Gordon what kind of dress he thought I'd go for and he pretty much described it to a tee!

Received samples of our invites.
Can't wait for the real deal to arrive!

Which also means we've just about finalised our guest list.
If all our friends/family could maintain their current relationship status until August, that would be much appreciated.

Shopped for rings.

Should I go for the Tiffany option to match my engagement ring or a similar, less expensive design from another jeweller?And who knew Gordon would be so fussy?!

Met with our caterers.
To talk about the most important part of the day - the food!

Met with 10 Dollar Shake to discuss bar options.

Booked hotels and trains for my hen weekend!

We're going to Edinburgh in 2 months time - bring on the cocktails!
Any recommendations for hen night activities/restaurants/drinking holes in the Scottish capital?

Tried to pick our tartan.

Bought some decorative bits and bobs.
We're doing our own centre pieces, seating plans and a few little personal touches! Hobbycraft and the Range are my go to's for this, where else should I be looking? I'd love to see how you personalised your venue - leave your decoration ideas in the comments!

I'm still debating the shoe situation...
The ones I want are expensive and probably not practical, but I haven't fallen in love with anything else! I need to decide soon as I can't have my alterations done until I know how high my heels will be.

What are your top tips for wedding planning at this stage? Is there anything I'm forgetting?!

depends on what you're going for, I booked a party with Lush Spa on Princes Street after the store closes (will need to be minimum 7 guests), definitely worth it :) there are a lot of great restaurants in Edinburgh, will depend on your budget and cuisine preference though.
